Is V in Edgerunners 2? Is There a Cyberpunk 2077 Canon Ending? And What About Season 3? We Asked the Showrunner in a New Interview
Edgerunners Season 2, Netflix’s anime adaptation set in CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077 universe, has concluded with a narrative twist that hints at the appearance of V, the video game’s protagonist. The season’s story is positioned one year after the main game’s events in 2078 and concludes with a tease suggesting V may appear in the anime. This has sparked speculation among fans about whether CD Projekt considers a specific ending of Cyberpunk 2077 to be canon, and whether that canonical ending serves as the foundation for post-game spinoffs like Edgerunners. At Lucca Comics and Games festival, the show’s writer, producer, and showrunner was interviewed to address these burning questions about V’s involvement and the game’s canonical ending. The interview is expected to clarify the relationship between the anime and the game’s narrative, offering insights into how Edgerunners fits into the broader Cyberpunk universe.
